Well, today (March 1, 2010) was the day that a year or so of discussions finally closed... The Smokin' Asphalt 2004 SSR has found its third home.
It was originally sold by Humberview Chev Olds in Etobicoke (Toronto to those of you from outside Ontario...). My mother-in-law purchased it in January of 2005 with 6,122km on it from Leggat Chevrolet, also in Etobicoke, as a gift for my father-in-law. My father-in-law drove it for 3 years, until he passed away in 2008. I drove it for the summer of 2008, then polished it and put it away for my mother-in-law to sell.
Selling the SSR was a frustrating, emotional experience for her. Too many emotions were bundled into the little truck... I had always expressed an interest, but just couldn't swing the finances. But, what's money for anyway?!? Well, she made us an offer we couldn't refuse, so we didn't!!!
Can't wait for the nice weather to arrive so we can start permagrinnin'... Looks like nice weather this week, so I'll have to take it out for its E-test and certification, then I'll put it away for another month or so
Then there's the Ministry to deal with over the personalized plates
